another question of 5th edition

That game was crazy

I was at the store and saw a couple of players playing 40k. I haven't played the 5th edition yet. I heard one thing that was different, glancing hits can't destroy vehicles? Is this true?

Depends. If the vehicles is at 100% on AP1 weapons could do it, but they need a 6 to do it. If the vehicle has had a weapon or two blown off it still needs to be immobilized to be destroyed. Glancing isn't what it used to be, and if you don't pack weapons with enough "oomph" to take care of armor, you're going to have a rough game.

Best to read the chart

The game is much better now than in 4th edition.

I wouldn't agree

Really, you don't like 5th? I find the ruleset smoother than 4th, particularly assaults. Which edition did you prefer?

4th
dont care for everything having s cover save when i run a shooty list

Because Tyranids have tons of low AP weaponry, and massive squads of spinegaunts offering your entire army 4+ cover saves sucks balls.

all the bugs i care about is 2-3+save

Against lascannons?

5th edition is great. The only thing I don't like is the terrain rules. I liked the 4th edition rules for terrain. Other than that 5th blows 4th edition out of the water.
